I love these threads, because invariably you get dozens of people claiming that the majority of Americans don’t need a truck, are compensating for a small penis, etc etc. they always bring out a ton of vitriol. They might be right! But. This comes off as both elitist and is a terrible way to make change. The F-150 is the number one selling vehicle in the US for the last 30 years for a good reason, and it’s not indoctrination, fragile male egos, advertising, or anything else. Trucks are versatile, flexible, and given how cheap oil is, most Americans don’t see a downside. If you want less people to drive super sized trucks, we need to shift regulation, not shame/blame people driving the best vehicle for them. Rules tying vehicle size to fuel effiency standards, rules around GVWR (ime, regularly flouted!) and safe height would encourage mfgs to make the much lusted after 90s tacomas, rangers and colorados people love.
